for your family. trace: major garrett has the news for us from the white house. there seem to be some backpedaling going on here. >> when the white house began shifting its message from health care reform to health insurance reform, it appears this government-run component became a casualty. the president on saturday said, essentially, this was not mandatory in any final product. on sunday, kathleen sebelius, like every other cabinet member, is given points to talk about over the weekend, and she said the same thing. a public option is not an essential element of reform. the white house is saying nothing has changed and it remains a priority but legislatively, it is losing steam in the polls. there does not appear to be the votes in the senate or in the senate finance committee, which need to act by next september. interestingly enough today, howard dean said that there was no reason to go through the effort and expense of health care reform if you do not have a public option. his projection was that if this stalls, there will be in the public of rising to put it back in the package s

through people magazine. you see the names and faces all around us. just moments ago, we saw william kennedy smith. he came out. he is the son of jean kennedy smith, the last remaining of that generation of kennedy siblings. let's look at what he had to say moments ago. >> he had amazing energy. he had extraordinary focus on the little things and the big things. he was a bit -- he was able to connect people stories with the larger issues. over the years, he has touched so many people. martha: it is so fascinating when you look at william kennedy smith and you think back to that time, the rape allegations, the trial -- ted kennedy, this is one of the clearest examples of the kennedy family sticking together through thick and thin. that was an embarrassing time for senator kennedy. he testified in that trial. william kennedy smith was exonerated. the other thing that strikes me, when you talk to people on the line, the familiarity that people feel with the family. think of another politician you can think of that is referred to not only by his first name, but his nickname. everybody fe

believe major garrett is with us from martha's vineyard as president obama gets ready to give an extremely important eulogy. he will be the first non kennedy brother to give a eulogy for one of the kennedy brothers. he is preparing for that as we speak. >> i just want to offer one comment on the pictures we're seeing right now. ted kennedy is the brother who lived. he was the brother who lived to write old age and had a long goodbye to his country and family. his brother did not prevent his brother was killed in action in world war ii. joynt all three of them frozen in time as young, vigorous kennedys. their family was shrouded in grief, as was the country. it is a sense of celebration of a lifelong lived. in the kennedy experience, that has become tragically rare. it strikes me looking at those pictures that they do not see them shrouded in the kind of guilt that we are so familiar with. that is something that is striking the right now. the president is enjoying his vacation as best he can. he's here -- he has begun drafting the eulogy that he will deliver on saturday it is something that
